clubkonnect:
Issue resolved, you can confirm ur databalance with *461*6#

You have been coming online without attending to the issue I posted here and on another thread. What's the problen? Do you want to say you did not see my complaint?

Koleman:
try dialing * 229 * 9# becos most times Etisalat hardly comes with SMS notification

There's no data there. I've done that before I started calling and sending messages to them. I don't even wait for their SMS to confirm data sent to me, rather i use the code to check. They even told me to use same code a couple of times to check the number they used to send data to me and send the number to them which i did. They keep on asking me to be resending the same information to them.

They are just a bunch if incompetent people. I'm trying hard to restrain myself from calling them a scam because i've never experienced this since i've been buying data from them.

If i start calling them a scam now, they'll be saying one wants to spoil their business whereas they caused it. It's already over a week now, nothing has been done.

This clubkonnect customer care are not reliable and not responsive at all. The owner of this business should do something about this otherwise he'll lose a lot of customers with this their attitude.

I bought etisalat data since July 16th without having the data. I've called their customet care severally and they promised resolving the issue with no result. The most annoying thing is that they'll still be asking for details again on the phone after i've sent them through sms and whatsapp. I called them nearly everyday with no result.

Maybe, it's time I look somewhere else for my data purchases because I can now see that they now have too many customers they can't handle.

[color=#1986BC] De Gea is the second best in the world right now, and having him manning their post will give them a little edge against their arch rival, u know Madrid won laliga on the last game of the league and perhaps they don't want to go through that scenario again Navas is good but De Gea is better [/color]

I know De Gea is better but I just think Madrid won't spend that kind if amount on a goalkeeper when it's not a real problem area for them.

Though, i may be wrong. It's just my personal opinion. Let's watch and see.

Segadem:
[color=#1986BC] £60m is not unreachable for the likes of real Madrid, if Buffon could cost juventus £30m plus over 16 years ago then De Gea is worth the price even more, having said all don't bet against Real Madrid [/color]

It's not as if they are in dire need of a goal keeper. Why will they spend that kind of amount on a goalkeeper when they have one who just won the league and a b2b UCL with them? Just like they didn't do for Pogba bid last summer when they knew they weren't in dire need of him.

I need someone to explain to me how cheap James loan deal to Bayern is, considering the fact that some people said Falcao's loan to Man Utd was expensive. I don't see any difference in the two except a little difference in the figures. Hence, my request for some clarification.

Maybe there's something I don't understand in the two loan deals.

This really serious. A case of over working...... This guy was one of my favorite strikers then.

Former Argentina and Fiorentina striker Gabriel Batistuta has revealed he struggles to walk after his 17 years in football.

The 48-year-old retired in 2005 after an illustrious career, scoring 168 goals for the Italian club and 56 times for his country.
But he told Fifa.com he has "difficulty walking" because of the effort he put into his game.
"I gave much more than I actually had to give," Batistuta said.
In 2014, Batistuta revealed he had asked doctors to amputate his legs because of the severe pain he was suffering.
After surgery to relieve the pressure on his cartilage and tendons, his condition improved, but he has been left with mobility problems.

PattyCake:
Let's get the facts right , he never asked for Poole to be a DM just a CM still, it's a huge blow to his reputation...if he's not careful, he will become another Raumdetee aka Resident Clown.

Diademk07:
All over the place and that's dominating the middle? Lol!

Southampton dominated the middle duh!

If I were all for flashy tricks, I know what I'll watch. No doubt he's better than Herrera in the middle but he was more of a no 10 yesterday.

BTW, Poole is a defensive midfielder He would be competing with Fellaini place and not as a playmaker.

What can you see right there?

You need to learn how and what to defend. Don't just get involved in what you don't know about.

I don't know why we are looking elsewhere for a good DM when our in-house canopy analyst suggested we promote one Poo(le) that is so good to play there that we had to loan him to Northampton.

Van Damme still dey eye the guy too.....

Thank God we have a certain JM as our coach but not............ Otherwise, this team eh.....

Oasis007:


Instead of paying £48m to get him at 28, I will rather hope United sign James Rodriguez for £61m at 25.

He isn't my favourite as well. I've said it severally here that I don't support the signing of a 28yrs old winger for that amount. I'll rather add to that amount and sign Dembele for the quoted price of £80m.

I don't think we even need James cos we already have Mata and Micki. What we need is a pure winger on that right side.

Oasis007:


The Red Dot would turn back to Blue soon!

Let's wait and see...

That's my observation and i've stated nothing is 100%. E.g. Mikel.

joeace2020:
Are you serious? A twitter fan page. Not even English rumor hawking papers like Manchester Evening news, dailymail, telegraph or Twitter sources like Di Marzio, Gazetta dello sport, Corriere dello sport that are verified handles with believable rumors.

A fan page linked to his official website where the am9 is still displayed....

Ask yourself these questions. ...

Who was wearing the number 9 jersey before it was taken away and given to Zlatan?

Is Lukaku going to wear number 9 jersey?

If the number 9 jersey is vacant, who will be the first player to pick it?

Oasis007:



Perisic is coming nowhere..... forget the Ish that he liked an Instagram Post of Pogba on the Signing of Lukaku.

He's a croat Fashion of Antonio Valencia, and United need more than a pacy Winger. He has to be skillful, sharp and technically sound.

I will rather hope JM gives both Pereira and Januzaj opportunity to cover the RW Position along with Mata.

It isn't about what he liked on the instagram.

This is what I saw on his twitter handle and made a finding.....

That red dot was made yesterday on his twitter handle.

He did same but blue dot when he was about to sign for Inter.

O jo gate, o jo gate, o fi ese mejeji tiro.......

Though, nothing is 100% certain. Just my findings considering we are the only one linked to him.

elrony:
Where you see this one from?

Here.......

Ivan Perisic is coming.....

Good news....

Anthony Martial is getting back is favourite number 9.

MRTA7:
Michael Keane as signed for Everton for nearly £30m. I hope we included a sell on clause in his contract.

Learnt Man Utd will get £7.5m out that amount.

Guys, I need your views about this Napoli midfielder Jorginho that I believe can replace Carrick.

I first noticed him when we were linked to him in 2015 and I've watched him whenever I have the opportunity to watch Napoli games. He has been very good in galvanizing Napoli's 3-man midfield play. Though, we are not linked to him this season, what do you think about him?

Jose Mourinho's father has passed away Our thoughts are with him and his family.

Exactly our story last season.

What has to change to transform
Manchester United into Premier League title contenders?

Boring? Pragmatic? Effective? It does not matter how you want describe Jose Mourinho’s first season because he came out of a tumultuous season with United’s name engraved into the
EFL Cup, the Europa League and with Champions League qualification banked for next season – the bare minimum achieved with the bonus of two pieces of silverware.
The platform is well and truly set for the Special One to work his magic for a title-winning second season - but what needs to change for Mourinho to deliver the 21st league title to Old Trafford?

Clinical edge

One of the biggest factors to United finishing an underwhelming sixth place was their wasteful finishing in front of goal. The statistics make all of the Old Trafford faithful breathe a collective sigh of frustration. The Red Devils managed to score fewer league goals (54) than ninth placed Bournemouth (55), a damning reflection of the substandard goal tally from an exciting attack which on paper promised so much.

The issue however was not with the creativity. United created more chances (425) than champions Chelsea (367) but unfortunately for supporters they only converted 12.9% of their chances - 17th best conversion rate in the league – an astonishing display of wastefulness. Even talismanic top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who bagged 28 goals, was guilty of missing gilt-edged opportunities in games that only needed a goal to seal the win, he missed 17 clear cut chances, more than any other Premier League player.
This has to be rectified for any potential title challenge. After Ibrahimovic, United’s second top scorer was Juan Mata with 6, indicative that the midfielders and wingers really need to up their goal tallies and ease the burden of any main striker. Spurs’ trio of Eriksen, Alli and Son contributed 40 goals and Chelsea’s three of Hazard, Pedro and Willian 35 goals; a goal-laden attack in addition to a prolific striker (Harry Kane and Diego Costa) is fundamental to any title success.
As M.E.N have reported, Mourinho is in search for a prolific striker (or two) to replace Ibrahimovic. Two striking targets linked Alvaro Morata (31.3%) and Andrea Belotti (25.7%) have fantastic conversion rates illustrating their potential to add the clinical dimension to a goal-shy attack. Whoever Mourinho picks must have the ruthless streak to take United to the next level.

Big game ability

Just like Chelsea’s double over Manchester City this season, champions always fashion statement wins both home and away on the way to being crowned against the top six sides - these games often decide the fate of the Premier League title.
United this season have an abysmal record in the top six head to head, accumulating a meagre nine points in 12 games. Scoring just a solitary goal in six away games is both a reflection of the players’ struggles in front of goal but also the way Mourinho tactically approached them. Mourinho often set the team up deep, pushing wingers as auxiliary full backs which frustrated the United fans throughout the season in these powerhouse clashes. Getting a point at Anfield and Etihad can be good results, but only if there are wins and intent shown in other big battles to contextualise them which did not come into fruition.

Big games are usually Mourinho’s forte, he comes into his own in these pressure cooker scenarios but the 2016-17 was an anomalous exception. Even though he was pragmatic in these encounters managing Chelsea, the set-up had never been as defensive or timid, you get the suspicion that Mourinho did not trust in the ability of the United players to be able to go toe-to- toe with swashbuckling rivals. Despite that, he produced a tactical masterclass against Chelsea, exploiting their formation with pace and man-marking, showing it still is very much in his locker. Ander Herrera won Man of the Match in several of these games, but many failed to turn up including the likes of Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan despite impressing in other games.
Whether game-changing signings can change their fortunes in these games or not, collectively the team need to hone in on their competitive instincts and realise the importance of beating rival sides.

Meanwhile, the Special One has to show the world exactly why he is still one of the best tacticians with his unique in-game management, now he has had one full season, the trust should be stronger and the ambition on the pitch should be greater.

Mentality fix

The conditional statement ‘If United beat X team, they can go ahead of Y team in the top four’ was a repetitive feature of a déjà vu season. The home games against Hull, Bournemouth and Swansea are only part of a long list of opportunities where the Red Devils had the chance to capitalise on rival failings. Yet, instead of pouncing like a cold-blooded predator, they timidly squandered every chance they were gifted which highlighted the damaging impact of three years of mediocrity post-Sir Alex Ferguson on the players’ mentality.

After accumulating 24 major trophies in four countries, Mourinho does not care about public perception. He can pragmatically close a game with a 1-0 lead with extra defenders, he will play long balls tactics, he will do anything to win trophies and make his name synonymous with success.

Installing that winning mentality in one season was a gargantuan task considering the squad was an amalgamation of four different managers, but as we saw in two successful cup finals, the potential is there for that winning streak to become prevalent again. Perhaps more signings in the ilk of Ibrahimovic are needed purely for the ruthless mentality to be present in the dressing room.

Eric Bailly leading the defence at 22, Ander Herrera’s dogged spirit, Paul Pogba’s mix of panache and toughness and Antonio Valencia’s lung-bursting commitment show that United still do have the core of a rugged, whole-hearted Mourinho title winning squad.

The Old Trafford faithful having to witness 10 home draws epitomised why there was no title challenge. However, the issue alongside the finishing in these games, was their inability to hold onto leads as we saw against Stoke and Arsenal by conceding cheap late goals. It felt as if the players were more fearful of conceding whilst a goal up, rather than being confident in scoring a second or closing the game out with assuredness.

Chelsea were sealing tight, scrappy one goal lead victories throughout the season, that true mark of champions shows that United must overcome this mental block to have any chance of league success.

Recruiting smartly this summer will be crucial to strengthen some key areas of weakness within the team which will go a long way into resolving the issues at hand and giving United title credentials. If last summer’s acquisitions perform to the levels fans know they possess alongside the new faces, we could well see a powerful, well-oiled Mourinho machine work their way to another Premier League crown.

Hwfa...when are we signing Van Damme and his team Mate Dolph Lundgren?

Like say na Van Damme go fix our midfield problem...

Thank God he's not our coach. SMH

PietroRico:
But one aboki, watching from under a canopy thinks Herrera is trash

And he was even suggesting we should buy one Van Damme to play in our 3-man midfield as our defensive midfielder or what......

Lol.

Funlord2:
Well the president of his present club pachuca has already said they are not negotiating with city for lozano yet but that 3 European clubs have registered an interest...lozano himself has already said if he leaves pachuca he wants to only join united and that we should bid for him!


man city are not our mates so in the event of any tug of war we will definitely back hand them into oblivion if push comes to shove for lozano unless they are willing to be maggard! Our record with chicarito also helps but it seems jose no send the chap! I like dembele and his fee may be high (£35m plus) but that boy is going places...either lozano or dembele will be fine additions as regards to young hard working flair players! Dembele is 20 while lozano is 21! These are the guys who should be on £100k a week and not lingaard and Ashley young!

News have it that Dortmund already set a £79m - price tag on Dembele. Though, I don't really know how far it is true but that is the latest news.

Lana1:
So in short, we need to keep pissing in Madrid's face??

This is not about "pissing" on Madrid's face. The lad is a huge talent. If Madrid is quoting over £70m pounds for Morata (who i believe should't be more than £40m) in order to fund buying Mbappe, then i believe instead of buying Morata for that amount, why not go for Mbappe.

elampiro:
We should be smart enough. We cannot continue to allow Madrid, Barca and Bayern to get the best young talents.

Exactly.

elampiro:
Then when you are ready to get him, he would become unbuyable. No amount in the world will buy him in two years if he continues to develop.

Currently, it looks like the next generation of football after Ronaldo and Messi belongs to this guy, except if his development stalls.

How much do they even want to sell Mbappe self?

The amount Madrid is quoting for Morata is just too much.

If Madrid wants to use Morata money to fund Mbappe transfer, why can't we add money to it and get the guy for our team?

Odunharry:
Modric is just a beauty to watch.

I tell you that guy na winch.

joeace2020:
You would think the way Roy Keane talks he would be the first name for these kinds of games. Sad troll pretending to love the club while he is just sad he was kicked out for his sadistic and mood killing attitude.

I don't take him serious since he left the club unceremoniously. Bitterness is always written all over his comments against the club.

Carrick's Testimonial match

Diademk07:
Learn to comprehend because all your response are just bullshite!

No one stated that Herrera made Martial and Mkhi wing backs! Is he the coach to have made them wingbaacks? The main fault is on Mourinho.

My point is with Herrera as his partner, Pogba was never allowed a free role like he did with Fellaini because the coach knows Herrera is an average DM.

So, the coach ditched the combination that'll give allow Pogba free role and freedom to perform for the one that will resttict him? Do you even read what you type before posting at all?

I'm still asking you what happen the Barcatford match where he made Pogba useless and made our midfield and defence useless?

Should I remind you that Pogba position was constantly parallel with Herrera whereas with Fellaini, Pogba was often in front of him. The wing forwards also had to drop deep to defend also. So, why make the whole team fall back to defend if we already have "this best DM" in Herrrera. Who's exactly doing the defending?

Should I also mention the fact that Herrera played on the side of Valencia who often work together with Herrera. In fact, it solidify my claim because I've hardly seen Herrera take out an opponent and win the ball all alone?

Pogba parallel with Herrera and not parallel with Fellaini.......(crap)
Who is the more defensive and the more defensive player? That's where you'll separate their duties.

Solidify ko, liquidfy ni........

eph12:
No! Neither can/should Herrera. Didn't work. Pogba best games came when they were 3 in the midfield whether Fellaini was there or not. And I don't see Fellaini's name as one of those to leave old trafford this summer. Probably because Mourinho sees how useful he is to his style?

Since Fellaini has been useless their, JM have used Herrera there in the few times we have played with two in the midfield with no fuse.

Moreso, most of the time when we use 3-man midfield, Fellaini doesn't come into the equation. What does that tell you?

And did I mention whether he'll be sold or not? Of course Mourinho sees him useful in more advanced position where we decide to go route one. No one is arguing that.
